FACT CHECK: Ashley Hinson Gets Hit with Community Note Fact Check for Trying to Hide Her Record of Covering Up the Epstein Files
MeidasTouch News: “Community Note Smacks Down Ashley Hinson’s Epstein Files Claim”
DES MOINES – After releasing a desperate new ad trying to rewrite her record of repeatedly trying to block the release of the Epstein files, Ashley Hinson was hit with a community note correcting the record.
“Ashley Hinson put out a desperate ad to try and hide her months-long effort to block the release of the Epstein files because she knows Iowans find her actions disqualifying,” said Iowa Democratic Party spokesperson Drew Myers. “Come November, they’re going to reject Hinson for protecting Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and delaying Epstein’s victims’ chance for accountability and justice.”
Here’s the truth:
- Ashley Hinson voted against an attempt to trigger a vote to release the Epstein files.
- Ashley Hinson blocked the release of the Epstein files for months, calling the effort to release them the “wrong way” and “not how we should be doing business.”
- Iowa parents have called Ashley Hinson’s decision blocking the files as “unsettling,” “disgusting,” and “disqualifying.”
- During Ashley Hinson’s telephone town hall earlier this summer, three Iowans called in demanding to know why she fought against releasing the Epstein files.
- At the Iowa State Fair, an Iowa digital creator called out Ashley Hinson for blocking the release of the files in a viral video after a video circulated online of Hinson ignoring repeated questions about why she worked for months to oppose the release of the Epstein files.
